A mountain in the San Gabriel Mountains in southwestern California, USA. It is 1,740 meters above sea level. It overlooks the San Gabriel Valley and the Los Angeles area to the south. It has a Mediterranean climate with many sunny days, and in 1904 the Carnegie Institution established the Mount Wilson Observatory, which has contributed to astronomy with its 100-inch (254 cm) reflecting telescope. This observatory, along with the Mount Palomar Observatory, is now collectively known as the Hale Observatory. The mountain was named after Benjamin D. Wilson, the first mayor of Los Angeles, who built a donkey trail on the mountain in 1864. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
アメリカ合衆国カリフォルニア州南西部,サン・ゲーブリアル山脈の山。標高1740m。南にサン・ゲーブリアル谷とロサンゼルス地域を見おろす。地中海式気候で晴天日が多く,カーネギー研究所によって1904年にウィルソン山天文台が設けられ,100インチ(254cm)の反射望遠鏡を有して天文学に貢献してきた。この天文台はパロマー山天文台とともに現在ヘール天文台と総称されている。山名は初代ロサンゼルス市長であり,1864年にこの山にロバ道をつくったベンジャミン・D.ウィルソンにちなむ。
